Okay. This is a long and complicated story, so you might want to sit back and put your feet up...
The sensor is meant to measure the temperature in a room, and keep it at an acceptable level - so if it gets too hot or too cold, the air conditioning is automatically adjusted to compensate. The building is supposed to be 'zoned', with a sensor in each key zone controlling the temperature in that part of the building. Buuuuuut. Our building had a lot of work done a few years ago. The wing I'm in used to be one enormous room when it was still a courthouse, and was divided up into a a long corridor with lots of smaller rooms of varying sizes coming off it. But the idiots forgot to sort out the air conditioning sensor issue when they did this. As a result, the only sensor for our wing is locked away in a tiny room, no more than a cupboard, which is in full sun most of the time. When the temperature in that room is acceptable, it generally isn't in ours, which is huge and open plan and gets very little sun.
As a result, we are permanently either baking or freezing. So I really hope they do get it fixed now!
